Specialty lubricants for your automotive MRO operations

In automotive production, the field of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) is as multi-faceted as it is critical to your productivity and hence your plant's success. Consequently, the lubricants used for these applications should be chosen with great care to make sure maintenance and energy costs can be cut and the service life of your production equipment extended. After all, your assembly line has so many different friction points that can only be reliably lubricated with products that are really up to each specific job.

Why lubrication matters in paint shop conveyor chains

Conveyor chains perform complex movements and operate constantly under mixed-friction conditions. In automotive paint shops, they also have to endure demanding conditions such as high temperatures and exposure to paints and chemicals. To ensure a stable paint process, optimum lubrication is essential.

Typical challenges

• Risk of production interruptions due to component wear or deposits
• High lubricant consumption due to evaporation losses and abrasion
• High maintenance effort caused by residue formation and for relubrication

And not to forget: Compatibility with the paint used is a basic requirement.

How Klüber solutions address your challenges

• Reduced downtime and higher system availability: High-performance lubricants minimise wear and support longer chain life, contributing to stable production processes.
• Lower maintenance effort: Low residue formation and good cleanability reduce maintenance effort and simplify relubrication.
• Less lubricant consumption: Low evaporation losses and low wear help reduce lubricant consumption in conveyor systems.
• Compliance with paint and environmental requirements: We have a range of products addressing the need for compatibility with different paint systems and support compliance with chemical regulations. This includes a polyglycol-based oil that is able to cope with the high temperatures in the paint shop.
